My heart says yes to give it another ago but I’m also concerned FA might never change. Has a FA ever changed? Or had a healthy relationship?
He dumped me. this has happened before but this time we’ve been apart for a month and he is begging to get back together, he’s saying al the right things, he admits pushing me away and that he’s a FA but doesn’t know why or how to stop. He’s booked to start therapy. He wanted to go together but refused and said he needs to go alone. Obviously if we gave it another ago I would be happy to go to therapy too, but I wanted to see if he was committed to going on his own.
I’m concerned this is just another cycle, and anxious this will just keep going on. From the test it says I’m overall secure with some preoccupied anxious.

"we’ve been apart for a month" "he admits pushing me away and that he’s a FA but doesn’t know why or how to stop. He’s booked to start therapy." nickster, there's been no change yet, I assure you. He needs some time to do the work. I'd give it to him and stay in platonic but low contact for right now. Maybe things can be different in 6 months if he's serious and confronts the attachment trauma, but don't put your life on hold. If you get back together right now, it will swing back to before, especially if you already have a history of off-on. If you want a real chance, you both need more space. If you're AP in romantic relationships, you can use the time to strengthen your secure side also.
